Twin Deities
According to the Din religion, the god Ymir created the world and the four races: Humans, Dwarves, Giants and Elves. Afterward, he commissioned his son Karos and his daughter Zora to oversee the affairs of his creations.

As time went on, Ymir grew resentful of his children. While Karos and Zora were each prayed for and respected, he himself received nothing. He soon started a war with his children when they refused to give total divinity to him.

Despite commanding powerful armies, the twins and their father were evenly matched. Hoping to turn the tide of battle, Karos and Zora called several animals to them and let them drink from a stream which they had placed their blood into. Those that drank from the stream became the Faunus, a race with the ferocity of an animal, but the cunning of a man.

With the Faunus at their side, Karos and Zora led their armies in a final battle against Ymir. Eventually, Ymir was defeated and banished into the moon.
